NEW: Parent/Teacher Conference Nights Daycare:

CHS is pleased to offer a daycare option for those bringing additional children with to parent-teacher conferences this year. We have a wonderful group of Child Psychology and Development high school students who are eager to put what they’ve been learning in class into action as they play with your children while you attend your high schooler’s conferences. Daycare will be located in room E109 in the East building and will run from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on November 13th and 15th. The high school students will run the daycare but will be monitored by Mrs. Piechowski (Child Psychology/Development teacher) just down the hall. Maximum capacity for children in the daycare at one time will be 15, so please be aware you may be turned away if we are at capacity when you arrive. Children dropped off at the daycare must be toilet-trained. Any questions please contact Megan Piechowski: mpiechowski@isd12.org.
